Definitely a myth....you will BURN BOTH FAT AND MUSCLE if you don't eat.


i dont get why muscle is burned though

fat is used for long term energy

and carbs for right now.

so why muscle

You don't need to have massive muscles, so they'll start to be broken down into protein and then used for the caloric value.

Surplus Muscle (just like surplus fat) is not required for simple existence.

Fat = insulator, shock absorber, alternate food supply
Muscle = shock absorber, strength and motion provider

The body has a wisdom to itself and when it notices that there is simply no nutrition entering the body, it begins to break down the extra tissue (this includes muscle and fat). The body starts with fat stores, but after 30-60 minutes of fat burning, the body switches to muscle when there are no amino acids present to prevent atrophy and catabolism (this is what BCAA's are for).

If you starve yourself, you will lose muscle and fat in virtually equal amounts. In addition you will compromise your long term health, immune system, and mental health.

weight is an improper measurement of health.

Weight can change based on - body frame, bone density, water retention, muscle mass, fat mass, etc.

Body Fat % is the true way of determining what you want to know.

For any male of any height 2-7% is bodybuilding pre-competition ripped 8-11% is considered lean 12-15% is considered average. 20% is considered overfat, and 25-30% is obese.

Stick to 12-15% for overall health.

Okay, I'm 5' 8, ~150 lbs and ~10% BF atm. Would like to be around 6-8%, and I've been going by this diet for the last couple of days, any changes I should make? Also, how many days a week should I do cardio, and should I switch to a strength training program while on the cut?

Meal 1: 3 whole eggs + 1 cup oatmeal
Meal 2: Protein Shake
Meal 3: 8-10 oz. Chicken breast on whole wheat bread, or with 1 cup brown rice
Meal 4: Tuna on a salad
Meal 5: Lean beef/chicken/fish with veggies (usually broccoli or spinach)
Meal 6: 1 cup Cottage cheese
